First off, thanks for providing this amazing resource ladies and gentlemen. It's much appreciated!
I'm a long time Linux user and am taking my first step into installing OS X onto older hardware.
I've run into some difficulty and am hoping for some pointers.
I have a Dell E6420, A21 BIOS, i5-2540M CPU, 4GB RAM, Intel HD3000 graphics, 1600x900 Resolution, 250GB SSD.
I followed the wonderful instructions in the following post using the E6220 boot pack:

However, I get stuck at one of two places:
1) With the stock + E6220 boot pack I get a kernel panic with message "pmLock: waited too long".
2) If I add NullCPUPM kext then I get a black screen that slowly turns all white. I did try to add DualLink into the Clover config.
I've been trying different things from the forums, but with less success. I still have yet to see an installer screen.
I do appreciate whatever time you can spare to help me get up to speed. I apologize If I'm missing something obvious, but this is all pretty new to me.
